You could try the motors section, but just in case.
If its the first one since the car was born you'd do well to take the V5 log book so they can enter the details onto the now national database.
Other than that, just the previous years MOT certificate but even that you dont really need.

depending on who you know you just have to beep your horn on your way past to get them to print one off ready to pick up on the way back. 
You don't actually need any paperwork whatsoever to get an MOT.
However, if your current MOT hasn't expired, and is due to expire within the next 28 days, take your current MOT certificate with you, and they will provide you a new certificate which is dated 1 year from the expiry of the previous certificate.

Bah, mine failed spectacularly. Needs new front discs, new wishbones and the front to rear brake pipe has corroded. I expected more to be wrong with the suspension actually, so it wasn't too much of a surprise. Good thing it's not my daily drive anymore though!!
It's the Mondeo, and I was just MOT'ing to find out if it was worth fixing because a guy is interested in buying it. It's just a PITA because I've got to get the brake lines done at the garage as it's a bit of a sod of a job unless you've got a ramp. Discs and wishbones can be done by my handy resident mechanic though
I could do with learning how to change the discs anyway (can do pads, but not discs)

other than taking the calipers off the mount its nothing special.
anyways....
a woman who knows how to wield a spanner?
is this what we call evolution?
brake lines are a PITA though - agreed lol.
mondeo discs do have a annoying knack of chemically welding themselves to the flange.
nothing a big hammer cant fix.
